DAVISON, MI -- Jacob Larry, 24, says being really hungry led him to victory in The Pizza Company's annual pizza eating contest on Saturday, July 13, at Davison's Festival of Flags.

Larry, of Davison, won $150 by finishing a large pepperoni in just 3 minutes and 5 seconds -- likely an event record, officials said.

"We've never had one finish that fast before," said Davison resident, Tom Crane, 47, who served as the MC for the contest. "We've never had one finish in under five (minutes)," he added. "That was incredible."
